Speaker help - Toyota Yaris Forums

I used my Kappas briefly with the stock HU and they sounded fine. When I upgraded my HU, I also installed an Alpine 4.100 PDX amp..

Dunno if the Kappas just don't sound good or what, but to me the stock speakers on my new Yaris sound better than the Kappas ever did. The Kappas were kind of harsh sounding. Also, I always had this hiss coming from the passenger side tweeter. Did everything I could to try and stop the hissing. I replaced the tweeter w/ a replacement from the manufacturer, etc. and the hiss never went away. I even went as far as running a 4ga. ground wire direct from the battery to the cabin and then grounded all of the electronics to that.
